Thank you very much for the compliment Ivy! Unfortunately, no, I don't

harvest my own. I live in a subdivision and although we have a creek

that runs thru the back of the sub, it is right off of a very busy road

and not enough set-back to wild harvest (would more than likely be

contaminated). I do have a friend who recently bought some property in

the Upper Peninsula of my state of Michigan, and she has given me the

blessing to wild harvest on her property...I can't wait for next

spring! You harvest the above ground parts of the plant. Warm regards

and continue to be,
